dude, the lego movie changed the game FOREVER. theres a reason its my FAVORITE film to ever be made (and thats not my nostalgia or my unhealthy unikitty obsession talking) you can clearly tell the directors KNEW what they were doing and can tell they had a blast and the voice acting is TOP NOTCH, Will Arnett never fails with batman, chris pratt voice actually FITS the character, Alison Brie has SO much emotion and care put into unikitty, and the fact they got MORGAN FUCKING FREEMAN TO VOICE VITRUVIOUS STILL ASTONISHES ME TO THIS DAY. back on topic though, the fact that the movie looks and feels like its properly stop motion, even to the tiniest of details show that this was not made just for a profit. say all you want about how "SpIdErVeRsE pOpUlArIzEd ThE lOw FrAmErAtE mOvIe StYlE", the lego movie did it best and first.
I mean, Lord and Miller did make the spiderverse movies. Which In turn inspired Bad Guys and Puss in Boots. So yeah, Lord and Miller are trend setters.
The Lego Movie still remains one of my favourite animated movies, not just because I grew up with Lego, but also because it was more than just a commercial film, it was a heartfelt, well written and passionate celebration of the power of imagination and creativity that made the childhoods of countless people, including myself.
The few Lego films that were absolutely lazy were the Hasbro kid movies of Lego Knights and Bio-nicals last 2 seasons with the most character-murdering ON screen!
This is what you get when you have a team that's dedicated to a franchise and its fanbase and respects it. Not "we ignored everything you love about this and did whatever we wanted"
I remember seeing this in theater as a teenager thinking it was actual, high budget stop motion until learning as an adult that it was actually all CG (minus the live action stuff in the final act)
@@SimonFrack I may be in a minority but it's absolutely true. I graduated high school in 2017. Whether or not I've actually grown up in that time is another thing altogether. 😆
I feel like the Lego movie laid the groundwork for this new age of stylized animation we’re entering into, with films like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, The Bad Guys, and most famous of all, Spiderverse
I agree. I couldn't find anything from those directors or animators on whether they took inspiration from this film, but I would bet it influenced them.
agreed, they just set the bar so high for the upcoming animated films that might also be why the traditional disney stuff doesn't really catch anymore. With spiderman, and the new animation styles, disney movies became kind of copies of each other, with a unique style for sure, but too standard and the same all along now
@@RukashiVTwell not to be *that guy* but in fact Lord & Miller did not direct Spiderverse, but they did produce the film and Phil Lord wrote the script for the movie. Also the case for The Mitchells VS The Machines, where Mike Rianda Directed the movie and Phil & Chris were producers.
It's a thin piece of plastic, and there is a seam there. It usually got broken, because the helmet was a tight fit. If you tried to remove the helmet without thinking about it, the first thought is to attempt to pry the helmet off, by the chin part, and the helmet ends up breaking close to the seam. You tend to underestimate how much force is required to remove it, and the chin piece won't take that much force. The force has to be applied evenly, to lift it off. Alternately, you can try to wedge something between the head and the helmet, at the top, to loosen the helmet.
@@InCinematic Fact. The helmet, and the horrid tire that no longer fits on the rim correctly but if you throw it you have a no tire piece. Or, it becomes a "broken down car" in a set lol.
Like how the algorithm is pushing more smaller content. Despite the small channel size I think this very high quality and appreciate how concise the video is.
@@DarthDargoz I'm not sure of the movie but I'm sure it'll fall under "lego starwars" at some point. I was only commenting on the faces we can see within this video- sorry about that lol
I really liked this movie as a kid, but now as an adult I appreciate it even more. I love the craftsmanship and the respect they had for legos as a whole. It's rare for studios to fully embrace their origins and fans without it feeling cynical or pandery.
The sad part is they only went with this amount of commitment to detail in the first movie. Further films took shortcuts with animation effects (looking at you, LEGO Batman Movie water, smoke, and clouds, LEGO Ninjago Movie plantlife and landscapes, and LEGO Movie 2 Sistar System background details) and made the characters more flexible.
@@buzzlightyer2948yeah, Lego Batman Movie even have a pretty interesting story plot. But what about Lego Movie 2 and Lego Ninjago Movie... It's just don't feel same as Lego Movie. Like, there's something wrong.
The Lego Ninjago movie one kinda makes sense because in Ninjago they use the fluid bendy animation with effects and such. The show the movie is loosely based off of is more of a story that happens to be made out of lego rather than a lego story, and other than the master builder stuff I wouldn't necessarily label the Lego Ninjago movie as a lego story - at least not in the blatant way the Lego Movie is. Not to mention the difference in imagination going on which can also change the animation style due to perspective; the lego ninjago movie is being told to a child with the occasional minifig or build pulled out by Jakie Chan rather than the child making up the story as he builds and plays with his (poppa Will Ferrell's) legos.
@@yells-of-the-not-so-danged While I still can give that credit to the LEGO Ninjago Movie, I have wondered what happened to the old look of the characters and everything. After the movie, it all changed for the show too. Put being, they can take leniency with that defense, but they also made things different about the characters. Why? (I genuinely don’t now. May need enlightened on some actual reasonable explanation.)
I feel like the idea behind the use of less Lego in the sistar system is more to show that the sister didn’t just use bricks when playing and got more creative with the things around her room. Like “oh this blanket could be water.” Just for example. Kind if like how Fin used real items for the relics, just a little different. This is just my personal opinion/headcannon tho
Dude. This is nuts. So much effort and time and research went into this video it’s insane. You absolutely earned a sub, and here’s hoping this mini documentary blows up in the future!
Exactly!!! I know that Chris Pratt is the big joke right now as he seems to voice and be everyone these days, but he was genuinely perfect for this role
I feel the same, and in my opinion it's because he just kinda has a standard, unimportant nobody voice. Like I can hear his voice now and recognize it, but it never has any flair behind it, never feels impactful, it's just some guy talking.
I have a core memory of watching this as a kid and when Batman’s song played at the end me and my mom bursted put laughing and ended up being the last to leave the theatre just laughing hysterically because it was just such a funny song. Love this movie.
One of the best movies of all time, and a really good vid you made, reminds me of those vids you would find 10-12 years ago, they don't spend this much effort anymore :)
What I love about TLM is that beyond it being a true from-the-heart film, it genuinly feels like the imagination of a child playing with their legos, and can be related to by viewers of all ages
As an animation student, this movie is one of my biggest inspirations. It shows me that anything is possible, so long as I stick with it and persevere.
Because getting higher in recognition these days is 20x harder so you need to put in 20x more effort then in the past to get higher But i agree he needs more
@@InCinematic Great video, but I definitely would work on your titles and thumbnails though. If I didn’t really like the Lego Movie, and hadn’t seen other videos on why the animation style was so special, I probably wouldn’t have clicked on this one. I don’t want to come off as condescending or anything, but I think a better title would be “How the Lego Movie Changed Animation,” or something like that. It would tell the viewer what they’re going to be watching a video on, rather than making them have to guess.
Realizing the Lego Movie kinda hit me because I remember just not too long ago it seemed that I was sitting down to watch it every Tuesday with my dad and brother while we had a taco dinner. I love this movie, it’s amazing to know that there was such passion behind it.
I remember being in first grade with a massive bin of Legos, and every time I watched the Lego movie, I would gain an urge to build massive Lego structures and creations, and it was such an awesome feeling.
I noticed a few inaccuracies in this video, mostly to do with the supporting footage not matching what’s being said. For example, when talking about “brick blur” you showed an example of onion skin. When talking about “the occasional hiccup” you slowed down a part where the main thing I could see was a clever transition where emmet’s head was removed for one frame to keep him from having a weirdly long neck while putting on his shirt. And also, animating on ones is the opposite of what you are describing. Ones is every frame, twos is every other frame, etc. I don’t know exactly what frame rate the Lego movie uses but it’s not ones, it’s much more stuttery than that
That's not onion skin, onion skin is where you can see the previous frame but with an effect (darker/transparent/a different color.) It's also usually a temporary tool to help animators, not something present in the final product. That's also definitely not onion skin because Superman was not headless or handless in the previous frame.
I noticed a few of those as well. 😅 Otherwise the video was pretty solid, but having the right visuals, and lingo, is important! It helps to convey you know what you’re taking about properly.
The clever transition is a hiccup. Because you can't move the jacket a half body wide you have to move it twice as far as you usually would. To preserve the linear motion you now have to delay the next frame twice as long. So for a short time you animate on 4th instead of 2s which is a hiccup
Who else remembers when to hype the sequel, they straight-up posted the WHOLE MOVIE as an ad on UA-cam? I sadly skipped it halfway through on accident and couldn't be bothered to play the whole thing again without the ability to skip, mute, or otherwise get back conveniently to where I'd left off, but it was still an absolute baller move.
after watching videos that break down the process of making the lego movie, i always have a yearning to watch it, not really for the storyline or plot-something that i think could’ve used some work-but for the sheer aesthetic. for it to feed my eyeballs.
I think this is the first animated movie that really caught my eyes with its cinematography. In a lot of animated films, because of how much freedom the animators actually has of choosing angles and manipulating lighting, much of them simply negates that advantage. But I can tell this team really utilized animation to their advantage in making this movie feel more "cinema."
The LEGO Movie was one of the best films I’ve ever seen. It had so much nostalgia coming with it and as you stated, it was so real, like anyone could make it in real life
First of all, thank u so much for this video, glad to see someone still cares about this awesome movie! I love it in all aspects, nowadays it's rare to see a film that is as good as this film quality in both visuals and story telling. Also i relate to Emmet so much, feeling like there's nothing special inside you and that you can't make anything significant, plus other complicated feelings that come alongside whit that. I love how people of all ages can enjoy this film in different ways and from many perspectives. Watched it whit my family and even my parents laughed many times at the jokes, they were actually focused on the screen. Proof of how well made this movie is.
What made me love the Lego movie was that it was different from the series. I remember seeing some Lego series, watching em and being super disappointed that the only Lego aspect was the characters. The rest of the world was just, normal. So you can imagine how I felt when I saw that the world was also made out of Lego
This movie has a dang soul. A heartfelt love of the ppl who've loved and will love Lego. I can say that even though I've only seen it about once and was not super aware of Lego creators or truly deep into the toy. Sure, sister an I played with them for hours, but not super regularly, and we didn't own all that many bricks. But this movie works with its zany creativity, its stunning animation that (for some shots) could totally trick someone unaware into thinking it was physically filmed. What a good movie.
I love being reminded of how amazing the lego work for the lego movie was. This isn't even the first video I've been recommended and seen on the same subject.
The Lego Movie is still one of my favorite movies ever. I've been a Lego fan my whole live and it's always been super special to me, and when I heard about this movie, words could not and can not express my excitement. Even before I knew this info, I could tell that the people who made this movie were guys like me who didn't care about the business or money, but just love Lego and wanted to do it cinematic justice. 10 years after its release, I still have almost the entire movie memorized and this is still one if not my favorite movie of all time. If I ever got the chance to speak to the directors of this movie, I would thank them for caring not only about their craft, but about what they used their craft to make. I would thank them for taking the huge risk to make something authentic and true to the medium instead of safe and samey, and most of all, I would thank them for giving me a movie that after all this time, I still view as genuinely flawless. Side note but, I really hope and believe that this movie will be considered a modern classic in the future
I remember making little brickfilms with my brother all the time, it was one of our favourite things to do. This movie was so cool to us when we first watched it because it felt so authentic.
That was a lot of fun to watch. Seeing how the team went above and beyond to make an amazing film and utilizing fanmade brickfilms as an inspiration for it is really cool to know.
The Lego movie is, and forever will be, one of my favorite movies because it dared to do what no other movies could: redefine what computer animation could be. And not only did it succeed in that, it is such a funny and beautiful story that will never grow old to me.
good golly this makes me feel old! i remember watching the lego movie when it came out, i was only 8 years old! my family has always been a lego family and we all went to see it together in a theater. it remains one of my dad's favorite films to this day. he has a collection of minifigures with emmet's face and hair on different bodies than his canon construction worker. i should ask my dad to sit down and rewatch with me sometime...
The Lego Movie is my all-time favorite movie, and I'm glad that so much care and intelligence was put into it, and it's a shame that we don't get many movies like it. Of course, we have the Spider-Verse movies, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, The Bad Guys, etc. but for each of those masterpieces we get ten Emoji Movies or Cars 2s or Shrek the Thirds. I kind of wish Warner Bros. didn't sell the Lego Movie rights to Universal so I could see the characters I know and love on the big screen one last time.
It is incredible how they managed to create such a masterpiece compared to the original lego films. I remember watching the ninjago series and being bothered that the whole world wasn't bricks, but I was also thinking that it would be so hard to make, and they did it so well.
Good news! I think your video is starting to pick up more traction and is being recommended to more people, which hopefully means you’ll get more likes and views!
this is my favourite film of all time, and it’s the reason I aspire to be an animator. I was obsessed the moment I left that theatre, to this very moment, ten years later. I love this film to DEATH.
All that work was worth it! The Lego movie may not be the best movie ever, nor the best Lego movie ever. But it is exactly the way everyone hoped and dreamed a Lego movie on the big screen would be.
When i was a kid i actually thought this and Ninjago movie are real stop motion 😂 that's why i confused why the character arm and Legs somehow got detach from the body
The only thing that made the Lego movie die in the end was how well it was received. Allow me to elaborate. The Lego movie is STILL a very good movie, I’m not denying that, but it did SO WELL that when the sequel inevitably came out, the Lego movie 2 could never be as successful purely because the bar was already set so high. This also happened to Avatar. BUT I’d like to mention the opposite case. As seen with the semi recent Puss in Boots 2, the first wasn’t really the best thing, but the SECOND blew EVERYONE out of the water.
What are your thoughts on the Lego Movie? Do you think it contributed to the animation style we see on Spiderman, Bad Guys, and Puss in Boots?
I think it definitely helped in proving to companies that breaking the mold can be profitable.
dude, the lego movie changed the game FOREVER.
theres a reason its my FAVORITE film to ever be made (and thats not my nostalgia or my unhealthy unikitty obsession talking)
you can clearly tell the directors KNEW what they were doing and can tell they had a blast
and the voice acting is TOP NOTCH, Will Arnett never fails with batman, chris pratt voice actually FITS the character, Alison Brie has SO much emotion and care put into unikitty, and the fact they got MORGAN FUCKING FREEMAN TO VOICE VITRUVIOUS STILL ASTONISHES ME TO THIS DAY.
back on topic though, the fact that the movie looks and feels like its properly stop motion, even to the tiniest of details show that this was not made just for a profit.
say all you want about how "SpIdErVeRsE pOpUlArIzEd ThE lOw FrAmErAtE mOvIe StYlE", the lego movie did it best and first.
The LEGO Movie Walked, so that the stylized movies we see today could Fly.
@@Hollowed_TrinityWell spiderverse did “popularise” it.

@@InCinematic same here i was surprised it was so good
The few Lego films that were absolutely lazy were the Hasbro kid movies of Lego Knights and Bio-nicals last 2 seasons with the most character-murdering ON screen!
It was far better than it had any right to be, a genuine classic.
And a great sequel too!
This was a few years before Spiderverse did the experimental animation and it still holds up. No one talks about this film enough
The Lego Movie will be 10 Years old this year…Let that sink in.

I feel like I have back pain now
For me it was nostalgic, I wish I could watch this again
I was elementary back then and now I’m 2 years till college. My Lego collection is still probs up there somewhere in the attic collecting dust now
I know, it's crazy 😭 I still remember seeing it in the theater!

Apparently Benny's space helmet had a design flaw and broke there a lot irl which is why they had it broken in the film
As someone who has a bunch of those helmets in the family lego bucket... yep. All broken there.

The LEGO Movie was one of the best films I’ve ever seen. It had so much nostalgia coming with it and as you stated, it was so real, like anyone could make it in real life
10 years... and Emmet is still the GOAT in this franchise, now bro is on his way to dressing up as Garfield in the new Garfield movie.
1:04 what's this brickfilm clip from? I love the build.
First of all, thank u so much for this video, glad to see someone still cares about this awesome movie!
I love it in all aspects, nowadays it's rare to see a film that is as good as this film quality in both visuals and story telling. Also i relate to Emmet so much, feeling like there's nothing special inside you and that you can't make anything significant, plus other complicated feelings that come alongside whit that. I love how people of all ages can enjoy this film in different ways and from many perspectives.
Watched it whit my family and even my parents laughed many times at the jokes, they were actually focused on the screen. Proof of how well made this movie is.
What made me love the Lego movie was that it was different from the series. I remember seeing some Lego series, watching em and being super disappointed that the only Lego aspect was the characters. The rest of the world was just, normal. So you can imagine how I felt when I saw that the world was also made out of Lego
The Lego movie has always had a place in my heart it’s just so funny,charming and creative!
This movie has a dang soul. A heartfelt love of the ppl who've loved and will love Lego. I can say that even though I've only seen it about once and was not super aware of Lego creators or truly deep into the toy. Sure, sister an I played with them for hours, but not super regularly, and we didn't own all that many bricks. But this movie works with its zany creativity, its stunning animation that (for some shots) could totally trick someone unaware into thinking it was physically filmed. What a good movie.
I love being reminded of how amazing the lego work for the lego movie was. This isn't even the first video I've been recommended and seen on the same subject.
The Lego Movie is still one of my favorite movies ever. I've been a Lego fan my whole live and it's always been super special to me, and when I heard about this movie, words could not and can not express my excitement. Even before I knew this info, I could tell that the people who made this movie were guys like me who didn't care about the business or money, but just love Lego and wanted to do it cinematic justice. 10 years after its release, I still have almost the entire movie memorized and this is still one if not my favorite movie of all time. If I ever got the chance to speak to the directors of this movie, I would thank them for caring not only about their craft, but about what they used their craft to make. I would thank them for taking the huge risk to make something authentic and true to the medium instead of safe and samey, and most of all, I would thank them for giving me a movie that after all this time, I still view as genuinely flawless.
Side note but, I really hope and believe that this movie will be considered a modern classic in the future
Imagine living in a world where absolutly everything is made out of human flesh.
7:03 Still waiting for the explanation how they didn’t go from one animation style to another.
This is really well made. Well done.
The Lego movie 1 and 2 are still two of my favorite movies, I absolutely love them
The LEGO Movie is the one Animated Movie I will actively watch in 3D because it actually improves immersion.
I remember making little brickfilms with my brother all the time, it was one of our favourite things to do. This movie was so cool to us when we first watched it because it felt so authentic.
Damn bro I thought this was a channel with at least 40k subs but 2k?! You’re so underrated
It seems to me that he's basically just turning a documentary into a youtube video
This movie has that team fortress 2. It will never go out of style
That was a lot of fun to watch. Seeing how the team went above and beyond to make an amazing film and utilizing fanmade brickfilms as an inspiration for it is really cool to know.
ngl, in the first few trailers I thought it was real stop-motion
Chris prat did an insanely good job voice acting on this film
it’s such a valid, witty, smart piece of cinema i do NAWT care who makes fun of me for loving it
It was an awesome movie. I’ll never forget going to the theatre with my gramps to watch it!
One of my fave stop-motion inspired and inspiring creative animated films
Underrated channel
Appreciate you!
The fact the Lego Movie didn’t win best animated picture is a travesty.
One of the best films of our times imo
This movie is such a sleeper hit back then, especially that *(spoiler)* 3rd act plot twist.
HAPPY 10th ANNIVERSARY, The Lego Movie
I've watched this movie like 30 times over the years and every time I notice something new! They really outdid themselves
im sorry did you say 2014!!! time flies
The Lego movie is, and forever will be, one of my favorite movies because it dared to do what no other movies could: redefine what computer animation could be. And not only did it succeed in that, it is such a funny and beautiful story that will never grow old to me.
This was a great movie and a fantastic vid. Very well done!
Thank you very much!
The LEGO movie and the second part are far better then any official LEGO movie before
Awesome movie, they poured a lot of passion into making it and it really paid off
DUDE YOUR CHANNEL IS GONNA BLOW UP. MARK MY WORDS!! excellently dons
good golly this makes me feel old! i remember watching the lego movie when it came out, i was only 8 years old! my family has always been a lego family and we all went to see it together in a theater. it remains one of my dad's favorite films to this day. he has a collection of minifigures with emmet's face and hair on different bodies than his canon construction worker. i should ask my dad to sit down and rewatch with me sometime...
The Lego movie has always felt like such a love letter to Lego fans and animators
The movie was and is still amazing
It always will be!
The Lego Movie is probably my favorite movie of all time
The first Lego Movie aged like fine wine
The Lego Movie is my all-time favorite movie, and I'm glad that so much care and intelligence was put into it, and it's a shame that we don't get many movies like it. Of course, we have the Spider-Verse movies, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, The Bad Guys, etc. but for each of those masterpieces we get ten Emoji Movies or Cars 2s or Shrek the Thirds.
I kind of wish Warner Bros. didn't sell the Lego Movie rights to Universal so I could see the characters I know and love on the big screen one last time.
To think the Lego movie is gonna be 10 years old this year 😳
It is incredible how they managed to create such a masterpiece compared to the original lego films. I remember watching the ninjago series and being bothered that the whole world wasn't bricks, but I was also thinking that it would be so hard to make, and they did it so well.
No wonder this movie was so incredibly fantastic!
Respect to the team!
When Emmet locked in at the end, he LOCKED. IN.
Good news! I think your video is starting to pick up more traction and is being recommended to more people, which hopefully means you’ll get more likes and views!
I agree trust me bro I’m here
minecraft movie go back in time and take notes, THIS is how you pay homage to the original source material
this is my favourite film of all time, and it’s the reason I aspire to be an animator.
I was obsessed the moment I left that theatre, to this very moment, ten years later. I love this film to DEATH.
I really like your videos. They are really good.
Thank you so much!
All that work was worth it!
The Lego movie may not be the best movie ever, nor the best Lego movie ever.
But it is exactly the way everyone hoped and dreamed a Lego movie on the big screen would be.
This is incredible. my family loves the lego movie, it's an instant classic.
The Lego movie inspired me to create a story about a group of rebels who construct warships out of junk to combat an authoritarian government
Honestly when I found out this film wasn't stop motion I was actually really impressed by how genuine it appeared lol
Then they made a sequel that's a soulless advertisement cash grab
Worth noting it also has some of the best stereo 3D of its time.
They nailed it
When i was a kid i actually thought this and Ninjago movie are real stop motion 😂 that's why i confused why the character arm and Legs somehow got detach from the body
I have this movie on high ontop a pedestal along with the sonic movie and og marvel and narnia.
Thank You for laughter Jesus 😂
I thought the title said
“When doctors actually care”
The only thing that made the Lego movie die in the end was how well it was received.
Allow me to elaborate.
The Lego movie is STILL a very good movie, I’m not denying that, but it did SO WELL that when the sequel inevitably came out, the Lego movie 2 could never be as successful purely because the bar was already set so high. This also happened to Avatar.
BUT I’d like to mention the opposite case. As seen with the semi recent Puss in Boots 2, the first wasn’t really the best thing, but the SECOND blew EVERYONE out of the water.
